The Lesley University Archives

Welcome to the Archives, Lesley University's records repository. Founded with the support of the President's office, our mission is to preserve the history of Lesley from its founding in 1909 to the present.

This site has information on the Archives' holdings, which include manuscripts, photographs, and publications (i.e., Lesley course catalogs, handbooks, yearbooks, student newspapers, etc.). In addition, the site offers on-line exhibits, chronicling Lesley's history.

The Archives, also, provides a variety of services for students, faculty, staff, and the general public.

"Three Lesley students stroll through the campus' "southern entrance" next to Jenckes Hall on Everett Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This scene emphasizes "the tree-shaded approach to Lesley."
